Laying bare infront of mother nature. A Sadhu at Gaumukh, Gangotri.

A Sadhu standing in front of the Gangotri glacier at Gaumukh. The altitude is about 3400m and it could get pretty cold out there. But he is wearing just a loin cloth and a shawl for warmth.
Pretty amazing how the human body can be conditioned to cope with the elements.

The umbrella serves both as a walking stick and as protection against rain.
